CITB-ConstructionSkills is on the case


CITB-ConstructionSkills operations director Howard Maylard said: "The construction industry is aware of many of the key themes raised in the report and actions are being taken to address them.
"The lower framework completion rates for apprenticeships relate to apprenticeships started in the period 2001/02, which is when key skills tests were introduced. It should be pointed out, however, that NVQ completion rates are double that of frameworks," added Maylard.
"The On-Site Assessment and Training route has an excellent electronic profiling system that highlights strengths and weaknesses in all aspects of NVQ knowledge. The recently created CITB-ConstructionSkills and the British Association of Construction Heads 'senate' will help to address some of the issues raised in the report. We are confident that the next report will show further improvements."
